Actually, it's 'Bill and Ted's <i>Excellent</i> Adventure'.

Henry, UK,

This is truly the end of an era - telling the truth, but in a cutting, attention-getting manner, that made us listen & question what was happening around us. Unfortunately, no one of Carlin's caliber is even on the horizon...mediocraty has replaced intelligence.

Shanie, Toronto, Canada

Sad day. The man had so much more to offer. His chronicling of "the slow circling of the bowl by a once promising species" made even a Catholic and relatively conservative guy like me bust a gut. May God and Joe Pesci look favorably on him. R.I.P.

Eric Richard, Tulsa, USA

He was a great comic, a great satirist, and a nice man.
He made me laugh my ass off every time I saw him on tv or in person or listened to him on record/mp3.

He will be missed.
He's "up in Heaven now" with similarly cynical satirist, Kurt Vonnegut, who also thought "God" was a crock.
Love you. - MW

RIP George, its a tragedy that more people in this Country weren't more familiar with you.

Thanks for the laughter and challenging perceptions.

We all know your feelings on the afterlife, but if there is one, I'd pay good money to hear you chewing the fat with Lenny Bruce and Richard Prior

Peter, Truro,

Farewell to a man who possessed a wonderful grasp of language, a satiric wit that would lay low those who were most desperately in need of it and a profound understanding of the true role of religion in our world. There were few like him and none to replace him. R.I.P.

Justin, Bristol,

This is truly a national tragedy because people like George Carlin who have the ability to make us laugh and think are gifts. The outstanding comedians are artists of the highest order and George Carlin has entertained the people of the US for 50 years.

Bruce, London,

He's dead, George. It happens to everyone, whether you believe in a god or not.

Carlin was the last comedian who was really able to shine a light on society and watch the roaches scatter. Now we'll have to think for ourselves to see the humour in our everyday behaviour. May his work live on.

"Didn't belive tn GOD. Wonder where he is NOW???"

Probably the same place as you'll go eventually.

Nicolaj E. Nielsen, Stavanger, Norway

we have had a lost. and no one will be better for the lost!!
as for me and my wife, George Carlin was and will all was be one of the greats.
who will make us stop and look at our life's now?
I know He is asking God. What?????


To the Carlin Clan, You are in are Prays, we share your lost this day .

George, it was fun when it lasted.

Phil, Seminole, USA

He will be sorely missed. Bill Hicks, George Carlin and Bill Maher are some of the greatest and most needed thinkers this world needs in these times, and now only one remains.

May Joe Pesci receive his soul.

Daniel Grosvenor, Cardiff, Wales

The world is a sadder place without George in it.

Sean, Toronto, Canada

The guy was a legend in the world of comedy.

A shame as the US presidential election is approaching and he would have ripped into that.

We have his recordings to listen to at least.

Cheers George...

Brian Taylor, London, UK

This is truly a sad day for me and my generation, as well as anyone with a sense of humor. This man's keen analytical mind, sharp wit, sometimes shocking honesty about his beliefs was just a thing of beauty. God Bless you & keep you, gentle, crazy hippie. Love & peace to his family.

Irene & Erica Smith, Caldwell, USA

One of the all time great comics and a great man, up there alongside Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor & Bill Hicks as one of the few comics to change mainstream culture and try to affect upon us the problems our mainstream lives. he'll be greatly missed.

Miles, peterlee, England

I'll miss you man! Your were and still are one of my all time favorites.

Adam, Austin, USA

I bow my head to a a very clever man who unlike some of us, was not afraid to take a chance. He took full advantage of the freedoms of speech that we all enjoy in this country for the purposes of making us laugh which is a gift...we will all miss him.

Erin, Tinton Falls,

A truly great comedian and a truly great man. His routines as well as being hilarious were also thought-provoking and laced with philosophy. He will be sorely missed. :(

Paul Williams, Stafford,

Didn't belive tn GOD. Wonder where he is NOW???

George, Fla, U.S.A.

I was sad to here of Geoge's passng...George was an all-time favorite of mine & am glad I got the chance to see him perform "live" before he left us...he will sadly be missed...

Steve, Marion, U.S.A.

RIP to a very influential comedian who made you laugh but also made you think. he had a brilliant logic and will surely be missed

RIP

Nick, Stockholm,

This is as sad a day as Dec 8 1980 when Lennon died. A very sad, sad day in my world.
